[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 169483, member: 1697"] the house my mom and bio dad lived in when I was born was just 2 blocks from house my mom and her new husband bought, so I was able to easily keep up with my birth home. and it is only an hour from me now. then we lived in a vriety of places on the run, but, my memory held and I can find all the places, altho some have been torn down since then.
